Board Composition, Sustainability Reporting, and the Moderating Role of a Contextual Issue: Evidence From an Emerging Country

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of board composition (BC) on sustainability reporting (SR) in financial firms listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), with a focus on the moderating role of non‐performing loans (NPLs). Using 421 firm‐year observations from 49 firms (2016–2024) and an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model, the results ...

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Influence of functional rider and horse asymmetries on saddle force distribution during stance and in sitting trot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Asymmetric forces exerted on the horse's back during riding are assumed to have a negative effect on rider–horse interaction, athletic performance, and health of the horse.

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Variations in water use by a mature mangrove of Avicennia germinans, French Guiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the tropical intertidal zones, little is known on water uptake by mangroves. Transpiration rates are generally measured at leaf level, but few studies exist on water use at tree or stand levels.

The International Guideline for the Definition, Classification, Diagnosis and Management of Urticaria

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This update and revision of the international guideline for urticaria was developed in accordance with the methods recommended by Cochrane and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group. It is an initiative of the Global Allergy and Asthma Excellence Network (GA2LEN) and its Urticaria and ...

Statistical properties of single-file diffusion front

open access: yes, 2007
Statistical properties of the front of a semi-infinite system of single-file diffusion (one dimensional system where particles cannot pass each other, but in-between collisions each one independently follow diffusive motion) are investigated.

The GRB/SN Connection: An Improved Spectral Flux Distribution for the SN-Like Component to the Afterglow of GRB 970228, the Non-Detection of a SN-Like Component to the Afterglow of GRB 990510, and GRBs as Beacons to Locate SNe at Redshifts z = 4 - 5 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We better determine the spectral flux distribution of the supernova candidate associated with GRB 970228 by modeling the spectral flux distribution of the host galaxy of this burst, fitting this model to measurements of the host galaxy, and using the ...

What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Investigation of the particle accumulation effects on the power exhaust of snowflake minus divertor on HL-2M tokamak by SOLPS-ITER

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2020
To solve the power exhaust handling challenge, meanwhile maintaining acceptable divertor target erosion, the snowflake divertor (SFD) is proposed on HL-2M tokamak. In this work, simulations are carried out by using scrape-off layer plasma simulation code
